Netmodules: Sort of like a lib

I first ran into netmodules before VS 2002 was shipped. The netmodule gave me precisely what I asked for, without actually solving my problem.I wanted to use multiple languages (C#, and C++ /clr)in a single assembly.It turns out a single assembly can be multi-module. Multi-module means a single .Net assembly is spread across multiple win32 dlls. What I really wanted was a single module assembly written in multiple languages. Netmodules couldn't solve my problem back then, but with the VS 2005 C++ linker they can now.
